I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will spend 5 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I'll work with a local compost service and other parents of young children to build momentum toward starting a compostable diaper service in our area. I'll spend at least 60 minutes on phone calls, emails, and social media posts to support and advocate for this project.
